[Seventeenth Canon] : [Audio]

[trapsound]

The Looking Glass Club will be returning to normal business hours tomorrow, opening at its usual time. As of right now we have no events planned but we encourage all of our loyal customers to return and we will be offering half price off our normal entry fee for the next week to make up for the time we were unable to open our doors.

As usual the management thanks you for your patronage.

Sai still hasn't been located... I have no choice but to open the club again without him. We'll never get back on our feet if I don't.

I'm sorry...

[pause]

I'm not giving up looking for him, though. Finitevus has to be some where with him.

Once again, I apologize for the failure of our security that evening, Namine-chan. We're continuing to do everything we can to find Finitevus... if you'd like, we could also provide security for your re-opening... discreet of course, and not obviously dressed as agents. I don't want to hurt your business.

I... would appreciate that, actually. I don't foresee Finitevus returning any time soon, but I suppose we can never be too cautious after what happened.

Re: [locked from hostiles]

[arc-saver.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll talk to Vent, and see if he can't spare some agents to come and assist.

Thank you.

I have no intentions of giving up on my boyfriend. I don't expect DATS to continue a fruitless search but I will continue to do so myself if that's what it takes.

Re: [locked from hostiles]

As far as we're concerned, Namine-chan, as long as his fate is uncertain and Finitevus is at large, it's still open. We'll do whatever we can to help.

Sorry. I asked Apollo, he's my Tamer, to check the area, but he couldn't track Sai after Finitevus took him. He says the trail just ends.

[locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that.

I'm afraid Tei-chan isn't handling it well at all. The sooner we get him back, the better for all of us.

Warp rings...

I wish there was something I could do, there. I mean that, truly. I know what it's like to have someone you love taken from you...

[locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I think we've all experienced that here, in one way or another.

Sai is my boyfriend, but I feel much worse for Tei who isn't used to having a family. It seems like she's only losing them as fast as she's gained them.

Re: [locked from hostiles]

[arc-saver.livejournal.com]

Then we'll just have to speed up our efforts.

... I... have some reservations about saying this but... Tei-chan mentioned the other day she knows some of the last locations Finitevus was staying...

I was reluctant to press her for more information because it almost seemed like she was muttering to herself...

Re: [locked from hostiles]

[arc-saver.livejournal.com]

... I see.

If you can, try to get the information out of her. But don't pry too much, I don't want to risk her regressing.

[locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I'll try. I have a feeling Finitevus has threatened her against doing just that.

Re: [locked from hostiles]

[arc-saver.livejournal.com]

More than likely. I'll see her protection added to, and make sure that they do their best to remain discreet. Last thing she needs is more reminders.

[locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I agree.

Thank you again... I'm sorry to ask so much of you.

Re: [locked from hostiles]

[arc-saver.livejournal.com]

This is nothing. I'll keep in touch, alright?

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[gotthescent.livejournal.com]

Those sound like they teleport things. If they're like the lightposts then Apollo can't track through them very well.

[locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

They do. He's got quite the supply of them, too. I was unconscious when he left, but Tei-chan said he warped out with Sai.

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[gotthescent.livejournal.com]

...How is Tei? She was in pretty bad shape when she left after the attack.

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

She's... not well. I think the only thing keeping her remotely stable right now is having Imonoyama-kun around...

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[gotthescent.livejournal.com]

It's good she has someone to be with. Having someone else around makes bad times easier to get through.

What about you Ms. Ritsu, if you don't mind me asking? Are you holding up alright?

[Why hello there uselessness, I haven't felt you in a while.]

...I'm sorry.

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

... I'm fine.

[no he's not.]

Locked from hostiles;

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Don't apologize for something none of us could have predicted.

Locked from hostiles;

[drills-andbread.livejournal.com]

It could've been prevented.

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[gotthescent.livejournal.com]

...That's good. Keep your chin up.

[Baron doesn't believe him for a second, but he's not comfortable calling his boss on it, so he'll leave it at that.]

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I will.

[he is lying through his teeth so damn hard. Hopefully some one DOES call him on it soon.]

Locked from hostiles;

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Maybe not. Finitevus takes what he wants and chances to stop him have been rare.

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[gotthescent.livejournal.com]

I'll see you tomorrow then Ms. Ritsu. Hopefully we'll have a big turnout.

[Audio] [Locked from hostiles]

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

We can certainly hope.

[Ted knows all of this, but...he still feels guilty.]

...How is Tei doing?

Locked from hostiles;

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

... [sigh] Badly. The only think keeping her from snapping completely is Imonoyama-kun.

Locked from hostiles;

[drills-andbread.livejournal.com]

I swear, that boy is a godsend. [Sighs, and rakes a hand through his hair.] I'm going to talk to Fate-sama about her role in our investigation as soon as possible. Hopefully, we can find out something about Finitevus without her having a psychotic break.

Locked from hostiles;

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Ted-kun... I heard her muttering the other day... she just seemed to be talking to herself and...

... [uncertain pause, as if he's not sure how much he wants to say here. But he's worried about Tei enough to just come out with it.]

It sounded like she knew at least some of the current locations Finitevus was last using as hide outs...

Locked from hostiles;

[drills-andbread.livejournal.com]

[Pauses for a moment, shocked, but taking this in.] Where is she now?

Locked from hostiles;

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Lying down in the office at the club. She said she wasn't feeling well this morning, and Imonoyama-kun is still at work.

... you want to talk to her, don't you?

Locked from hostiles;

[drills-andbread.livejournal.com]

I do. As much as I wish there were other options, time is of the essence, and Tei is our best chance for information about Finitevus.

Locked from hostiles;

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Ted-kun... I don't know if that's a good idea...

Locked from hostiles;

[drills-andbread.livejournal.com]

I have to try. I won't let her know that you tipped me off, but I need to talk to her.

Locked from hostiles;

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

... [sigh] Okay. Come in to the club.
